2 points per box, which takes 1 MASS of space.

Actually, we did a very nice job of editing the designs -- no offense
meant, but you should probably double-check some of your calculations. 
I
know I still have to, several times, even though I've designed a fair
number of ships.  There are a few ships that have bloopers, but those
came
from the typesetter if I had to make a guess.  (Though this doesn't
apply
to the merchant & support vessels, since Jon didn't hand those designs
out
for us to check. ^_- )

And if you have any specific problems with any ships, feel free to
e-mail
'em or post 'em to the list.
